Description
Toluene ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus is a high-purity aromatic solvent with a minimum content of 99,8 %, formulated for chromatographic and GC-oriented laboratory use. It is registered under CAS number 108-88-3 with empirical formula C₇H₈, a molar mass of 92,14 g/mol, density 0,87 g/cm³, flash point 4,4 °C and boiling point 110,6 °C. These parameters help analysts select and document the solvent for sample dissolution, extraction, elution and instrument-related procedures where a defined aromatic medium is required. Supplied in a 2,5 l glass bottle, the pack size balances laboratory consumption with secure storage of a flammable solvent. Produced to the ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus specification from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this toluene grade supports solvents-for-GC and broader chromatographic application streams that depend on consistent purity and low interference. Physical constants such as density and boiling point aid method development, temperature programming and safety planning. Suitable for analytical chemistry, quality control and research laboratories needing a clearly specified toluene solvent in glass.

Questions about Toluene, ROTISOLV® min. 99,8 %, Pestilyse® plus, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Toluene, ROTISOLV® min. 99,8 %, Pestilyse® plus, 2.5 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
HPLC grade limits the absorbance and the residue that would appear as peaks or baseline drift. LC-MS grade goes further on metal ions and on particles that would suppress a mass spectrum. A solvent that is only analytical grade is a false economy on an LC-MS system.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
How does ordering and shipping work?
Luminix Health distributes this article from the heart of Europe. Delivery across Europe, two to five days when in stock. Standard delivery is free from €250 excl. VAT. Cold-chain goods and dangerous goods under ADR are never included in that free delivery. The terms are in the Shipping Policy. The full brand index is on shop by brand. Who we are is on about us.
Which other categories should I open?
The seven catalogues are Labware, Lab chemicals, Lab instruments, Lab consumables, Chromatography equipment, Lab safety equipment and Life Science & Microbiology.
